Missouri River Valley Presbytery  

 
Mission
Presbyterian Logo for PCUSA, Louisville, KY
 

 

The Presbytery of Missouri River Valley

 

is passionate about mission and developing

 

missional congregations and disciples!

 

 

Vision Statement:

     Joining together in God’s mission; encountering
    Jesus Christ in covenant partnerships.

 Mission Statement:

    Serving congregations and individual members to
    be missional by:

           1.   Helping every disciple to have a calling in
    mission as Incarnational Witnesses.

           2.   Engaging and coordinating mission opportunities.
     
      a.    Resourcing and collaborating with congregations
                  and within the Presbytery.

 

 Core Values:

     1.  Receptive to the Spirit, guided by prayer, we humbly engage in and
         encourage partnerships locally, nationally and internationally within the
         context of the host’s ministry.

         2.  The global Body of Christ benefits from the mutual support,
         encouragement and sharing of gifts that occurs when we participate in
         mission through collaborative efforts in our community and around the
         world.

         3.  We understand that mission is not just what we do, or who we are; it is
         how we live and that we are called to be involved in works of compassion,
         justice and proclamation.

         4.  Mission involves being sent out and returning home and as such it is
         about having qualitative transformational experiences, which help us
         grow as disciples and as missional people at home and abroad.

         5.  Sharing our stories with others is an important aspect of mission as it
         helps encourage others to answer our common call.

         6.  The Mission Committee seeks to fulfill the Presbytery’s mission priorities
         as intentional stewards of the resources with which our Presbytery has
         been blessed.
